Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a towel.
Step 3
Using a fork, pierce each sweet potato several times. This allows steam to escape during roasting.
Step 4
Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
Step 5
Roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Step 6
Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Step 7
Once cool enough to handle, cut the sweet potatoes in half and scoop the flesh into a food processor or blender, discarding the skins.
Step 8
Add the butter, heavy cream, salt, ground black pepper, and nutmeg to the sweet potato flesh.
Step 9
Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides as needed to ensure everything is well incorporated.
Step 10
Taste the puree and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Step 11
Transfer the sweet potato puree to a serving dish and serve warm.
